In spring 2017,Avila Pinedo and her classmates from Garey High School founded the
school's first invention club.Noticing their low-income community's high diabetes
)rate and insufficient healthcare access,the team planned to invent a toenail-cutting
tool for diabetic patients.Surprisingly,after submitting the idea to Lemelson-
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Lemelson-MIT),the Garey High group was
awarded one of the 15 InvenTeams for 2017-2018.
Yet subsequently,the teens questioned their proposed invention due to sharp-tool
risks.Concerned about the new direction,they approached the Lemelson-MIT Program
for advice,where Leigh Estabrooks,a seasoned academic,encouraged them,"Invention
advances;changes and adjustments are common-that's the process."Despite the change
in plans,Estabrooks praised the community-centered approach.
With renewed determination,the team resolved to develop a tool to monitor blood
oxygen levels in diabetics feet.This shift was essential and demanded considerable effort.
Avila Pinedo recalled the team invested every spare moment in research.
Each team member performed specific functions in the process.Avila Pinedo led the
development of the sensor (that measured blood oxygen levels.Lacking prior
technical skills,Avila Pinedo determined to employ online resources to acquire how to
build the electrical system and finally built the sensor."Invention offers a chance to
explore the boundaries of your creativity and capabilities and unlock the power of the
invention mindset.It doesn't mean you must know how to build a sensor,but you do need
to take responsibility for your own education,"Pinedo said.Ultimately,under the team's
cooperation,their invention,named Heart and Sole,became a reality.
The experience lit Avila Pinedo's passion,inspiring her to serve as an advisor to
primary pupils recently.Guiding them through hands-on engineering and programming for
a STEM initiative,she said,"Invention is transformational,"witnessing its empowering
influence on Inven Teamers and others who realize that applying imagination and concepts
can unlock fresh prospects,therefore motivating them to further explore education with
the belief that invention is accessible to all.

As the global population continues to expand,traditional farming methods are
struggling to provide enough food.However,an innovative agricultural company in
Compton,Los Angeles,may have the solution.Their revolutionary farming system could
transform food production,offering remarkable efficiency and sustainability.
It's far from the storybook picture of a farm-no mud,no boots,no hens pecking in
the yard.Unlike conventional farms,this high-tech facility operates without soil,heavy
machinery,or pesticides.Instead,it relies on automation and advanced plant science to
maximize output..Using precisely calibrated(符合标准的)LED lighting and nutrient
delivery systems,the facility produces up to 350 times more yields compared to traditional
farms while using just 10%of the water-and it can be replicated (almost
anywhere.
The entire process-from planting seeds to packaging produce-is automated.From
the moment a worker tips seeds into the sowing machine,robots take over.Nearly 80
plant scientists study best growing conditions for each plant,working with over 100
engineers who translate these findings into hardware and software solutions.
"Plants are really just little software programs,"explains one of the scientists.By
studying plant DNA without changing it,scientists can program qualities like growth,
flavor,and nutrition.For instance,exposing plants to blue light at specific growth cycles
creates leaves with a satisfying crunch at harvest.The same principles can enhance
antioxidant levels in vegetables by up to 40%0.Since crops never contact soil,pesticides,
or human hands,they require no washing-reducing both water waste and contamination
(污染)risks.
One of the greatest threats to the natural world is habitat loss due to farmland
expansion.If successful,farms like this could reduce deforestation while meeting food

demands.Yet the high costs-including energy-intensive artificial lighting-may block
global adoption,particularly in developing nations where infrastructure is limited.
Could this be the future of agriculture?With its incredible efficiency,minimal
environmental impact,and potential for worldwide replication,this high-tech farming
model may soon become essential in feeding our growing world-if the challenges of
scaling and affordability can be overcome.
8.What is the main feature of the innovative farming system?
A.It demands water-free technology.B.It gets high yields with little input.
C.It is widely introduced in the world.D.It mixes old and new farming methods.
9.What is the scientists'major role in the process of the farming system?
A.They are gene editors.
B.They are machine operators.
C.They are system monitors.

Virtual reality (VR)video games that combine screen time with exercise are a great
way to get fit,but game designers face a major challenge-like with regular exercise-
adherence to“exergames(健身游戏)”is low,with most users dropping out once they
start to feel uncomfortable or bored.
Computer scientists at the University of Bath believe they've found a solution:to
create exergames that use sensors to continuously measure a person's emotional state
while they exercise,and then adjust the game-for instance,making it easier or harder-
to keep the user engaged.
Game designers have longed to develop more personalized exergames that tune in to a
person as they work out,adapting to their struggles and ambitions.However,finding a
trustworthy method for measuring a user's changing emotional state has proven elusive.
The Bath team has made a breakthrough by employing a novel range of sensors,
which could be embedded in VR headsets and wearable devices such as smartwatches-to
track physical changes experienced by an exerciser as they work out.
In the new study,72 participants were involved in a VR bike race while the Bath
scientists used a specific combination of sensors to measure pupil size,facial expressions,
heart rate,levels of sweating,skin inflammation and electrodermal activity (which
measures the skin's ability to conduct electricity,reflecting stress levels).
Data was collected through the sensors while racers worked out in four distinct
virtual environments(VEs),where each environment was designed to cause a specific
emotion.Participants moved through these VEs at three different exercise intensities(
)(low,medium,and high).
单元过关(四)英语第4页(共8页)
Dr.Christof Lutteroth,who leads exergame research,says,"In the long run,our
objective is to make VR exercise emotionally intelligent.We fully expect VR physical
activity to explode in popularity in the years ahead-school children are already using it as
part of their exercise programs and it is also being used in sports science-so it's
important to focus on making technology that's emotionally intelligent and adaptive to
differences between users."

A.Useless.
B.Illegal.
C.Harmful.
D.Complicated.

How to avoid falling sunk cost fallacies(谬论)?
A sunk cost is an expense that cannot be recovered by additional spending or
investment.The term "sunk cost fallacy"might not sound familiar,but you've likely
fallen victim to it.Maybe you've continued watching a movie you didn't like simply
because you already bought a ticket.16.
Reflect on your emotions
Making sound,logical decisions requires self-reflection.Assess your feelings and
goals and allow them to inform your actions.17,the more likely you'll make
decisions with these factors in mind.The self-reflection process helps you understand your
decision-making style and how you weigh your options.
18
It's easy to get caught up in emotions in the present.Try to work around your current
feelings by focusing on which decision will bring you the most value down the road.
Making a pros and cons list(利弊清单)for future decisions can help you uncover which
choice will bring more value to your life.

I'm a photographer.Sometimes my travels take me to places where people have much
less than I do.Sometimes I feel a wave of 21,knowing that the photo I've just taken
is now in my possession,but the person in the photo is left with only a 22 of the
image on the back of my camera.
A decade ago,while planning a trip to Thailand,I came up with a solution to 23
my guilt:a portable photo printer.Equipped with one,I was 24 to hand out
snapshots wherever I went.
Near Mai Sot,I walked into a city dump where many poor people 25 among the
mountains of trash.A family squatting(蹲坐)in their open hut(小屋)watched me
26 as if I came to spy on them.I asked the father if I could take their photo.He
shrugged,27 why I wanted to do so.My printer began to work.The moment the first
print appeared,they approached and I was 28.
Soon I began making friends.Children tugged at my shirt wanting to be the next 29.
Old ladies tried to 30 the children so they could cut in line.I couldn't make the photos
fast enough,so I showed a teenage boy how to 31 machine.
As their enthusiasm grew,I noticed that many held their small photos 32 as if
they were gazing at a(n)33 they'd never seen before.
After many such journeys,I was finally free of that bad feeling and grew 34.I'm
a photographer,one who loves taking portraits and 35 them,and spreading
happiness in the most unexpected places.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a typical busy noon at the downtown fast-food spot.The smell of sizzling
patties and crispy fries lingered (in the air,and the place was packed with folks
rushing to grab a quick meal.I'd just gotten off a long morning at work,and my stomach
was empty as I finally reached the front of the line and got my order-a burger,fries,and
a cold drink.
As I set the tray (down on a small table by the window,I glanced over and
saw two firefighters in the corner.Their uniforms were heavy with faint spots,like they'd
just stepped away from a smoky scene,and their boots still held a hint of damp from the
morning dew.They stood in the back of the line,shoulders relaxed but eyes tired.
I was just about to pick up my burger-the cheese melted perfectly-when a loud,
sharp siren (cut through the noise of the restaurant.The two firefighters froze for
half a second,and then moved.No hesitation,no exchange of words-just muscle
memory.One grabbed his helmet off the nearby counter,the other adjusted his radio on
his shoulder,and they turned toward the door,their steps quickening.I watched them
go,and my fork paused mid-air.
My empty stomach served as a quiet reminder of how long I'd waited for this meal.
I'd stood in that line for 15 minutes,my feet aching from the morning's work.Giving
them my lunch meant I would have to wait again-maybe another line,maybe my break
slipping away faster.I bit my lip,staring at the tray.Then I thought of their uniforms,
the spots,the way they'd act upon hearing the siren like it was a call they couldn't ignore.
They didn't get to pause for a meal when emergencies hit.They'd probably go hours
without eating,running from one call to the next.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
My hesitation melted away.
I went back to the counter,only to find the manager was waiting for me.
